One Man Protest Ends in Walhalla

An unnamed young man staged a protest in Walhalla tonight against a long standing historical civil war monument that stands in the grass median on W. Main Street.  He apparently climbed the tall monument and has attached himself with a purple, rope-like material. After a small crowd gathered and questioned the man as to his motives to demonstrate, he said that he had been protesting earlier this week with others in Walhalla, but tonight he demonstrated on his own.  He came down from the monument and the demonstration ended uneventfully after about a couple of hours.
